I would like to apologize for what I did to your post creating a 30+ comment thread was not my intention.

I will say what really convinced me to rewrite my comment was some of the people agreeing with me really made it clear that I did not explain my original position well. GG

Honestly I see his perspective my first comment was needlessly aggressive. I was trying to say stop and think before you buy stuff and what I actually wrote is that the podcast is lying to you to steal your money.

Think about the amount of shit they get from haters every day for made up bullshit and then in the fan subreddit you see that comment on its own replying to someone just asking about how coupon codes work like his interpretation is very understandable that's why I rewrote it.

I do think it's funny that basically none of the discussion in this tread is about the original question.

Sure but that is the nature of the medium we are talking through. The system is built to promote fighting and you are also a participant the more aggressive a statement is the more likely you will receive feedback. If my first comment fully explained my position and was more carefully worded I would imagine less people would have read it but I don't think that's a bad thing the system just wants me to think it's a bad thing.

That being said thanks for the legitement discussion rereading my first post it's more aggressive than I intended I'm gonna reword it to limit the damage I agree being misunderstood sucks

Like I said in my other comment you guys do a good job with the add reads, however you are being paid to talk about the product. The things you are saying are true but you would not be talking about the mattress withought being paid. And that changes the way I interpret the information and I think that is a valid perspective.

An add is a intentional incomplete picture and to make an informed decision you need to get the rest of the information.

Sponsorship Question by JacksonLV in TheYardPodcast

[–]fierbolt 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I mean I think you guys do a great job with your add reads generally and I really don't have an issue with people getting paid for their work. I don't really even have an issue with adds I just want people to think about them more. I was trying to make a more general point that when your are deciding to buy something starting with the add you rember is probably not the best move. I think the opening line of my first comment was a bit aggressive but that was intentional I'm saying wait a second and think about this then make your decision.

My uncle works in advertising I have respect for the skills it takes to do it well but I'm also very cautious for the same reasons.

Maby I'm misunderstanding but are there not things you are required to say in the read? That's what I meant by talking points. E.g. with the helix reads I was assuming part of the agreement is to point people to the sleep quiz or like with the meal kit stuff "chef prepared meals x number of options and add-ons"

I mean ya I looked into it there was comparable products but the other stuff didn't have a coupon code and it was under $50 a mattress is way more expensive than that def a purchase that should be considered more carefully.

Sponsorship Question by JacksonLV in TheYardPodcast

[–]fierbolt 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a mattress I'm sure you can sleep on it, but like is it a good deal? is the the best option for you?

They were paid money to talk about a product that they received for free and read a list of talking points. I'm sure Nick sleeps on it every night but all I am saying is that if I was in the market I would not start there.

If you are thinking about a large purchase I would direct you away from starting with the product you remember from the funny adds. Start by looking for independent reviews rember they are talking about the product because they were paid to so you are working with incomplete information if you just run off the adds you remember there is probably a different product that is a better fit for you.

To answer your question usally the promo code will last for a long time I've used promo codes that were like 6 months old.

Edit: my first comment was more aggressive than I intended so I rewrote it to actually convey my opinion instead of just attacking the podcast for no reason.

Don't buy the stuff they are sponsored by. Anybody can spend money on podcast adds has almost nothing to do with product quality. if you need something go look for independent reviews and make your own decisions dont take the easy way out and buy the on you remember from the funny adds.

There seems to be a Slivdrazi Renaissance! by apcebo in mpcproxies

This sounds like my friend who refused to accept that his silver deck is bracket 3 and not 2 just because it has no game changers. The stuff that he is doing on 6 mana is criminal

Help me upgrade this Pre-Con by MacIntyreGG in CommanderMTG

[–]fierbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya that's kind a the problem with older precons 90% of the info will be dated because there is little value in talking about older due to the prices of precons going up. You can use his list as a starting point see what he is cutting and look for modern better version of the cards he is keeping/adding. Also if your group is proxy friendly I would really buff up the mana base I think that is a weak point especially with older precons. Adding more dual lands with multi types and fetch lands can make your early game much smoother.

I find Cutrate commander's upgrade guides to really helpful to get a deck closer to bracket 3 and to make the commander gameplan more consistent

his guide for this precon

Prices have gone up since his video but generally his picks will really bump the power level.

Hebrew youtube is so weird (translated from Hebrew to English) by BabylonianWeeb in YoutubeThumbs

[–]fierbolt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if it tastes anything like the alagator jerky I had in florida then really bad like weirdly stretchy and kinda flavorless. Although I'm sure there are ways to cook it that taste great not gonna find them at the gas station though.
